Wind SW light to fresh and variable followed by heavy showers, yesterday's weather, amount of rainfall 2.0mm, amount of sunshine 1h.8 mins maximum air temperature 12.4c.

24/1/2025.
The quote of the day comes from the Currane angler.
Everything okay Obviously, there is no fishing today
The lake was okay to fish the north shore, but I figured that it would be very dirty after the storm
So I stayed in
Didn’t see anyone out. Wind fresh WNW followed by good cloud cover and heavy showers at times. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall, 28.1mm, wind gusts up to 104 km. Come 3am this morning Velantia recorded gusts of 137 km/h
23/1/2025 It
was clear that the Currane anglers prioritized securing their boats over
venturing out, which was a prudent decision given that storm Éowyn is
approaching the southwest. As illustrated in the accompanying picture, the
outlook for any part of the island of Ireland is not favourable. Stay safe.
Just for the record Lough Currane was on the wild side today with WNW gusts up to
72 Km/h. Yesterday’s weather, amount of rainfall 1.1mm, maximum air temperature
10.2°C, amount of sunshine 3hrs 7mins. Storm

may hit Ireland on Thursday. Wind light and variable NE to NW.

Great to be back on the No Spin No Fly’s just Facts zone. Well, there was 11
boats out this day manipulating their skills but sadly all was quiet on this
opening day except for a few kelts caught. Thankfully the same couldn’t be said
in the barbeque department at Waterville boats as you can see by the opening
day at lunchtime. Wind South moderate and overcast.
